Time has come...

[Piper]

I've just found out that my last living grandparent had died. He may have been my step-grandparent, but he was all that I ever knew, I never met my dad's real father.

With his death, and other things going on in my life right now, I'm taking some time off. Don't worry though, I'll be back.

Take care,
Piper

Piper, hope you get to feeling better. My condolences to you and your family. And the part about being blood related doesn't mean anything. My step father means more to me that my real father ever has or will. Come back when you're ready to talk. I'm sure everyone here (me included) will help you in any way.

Piper, my deepest sympathies to you and yours.

Having recently been through the loss of someone close, I can feel for you.

Take care of yourself, and come back when you're ready.

I have ONE grandparent left. I'd give ANYthing to have the others back. My condolences, Piper.

Piper, my neighbor was adopted by her Mother's second husband. Seems her real Dad had another whole family her mother didn't know about. As condition of divorce, her real father was to have no contact with her. She was 4 at the time. She's 50 now. Her "real" father just tried to contact her. She told him he must be mistaken because she was standing right beside her "real" father, the one that raised her. And she hung up on him.
He's not her biological Dad but he's her Dad and always wil be...and she has HIS last name (maiden) as he adopted her and her brother. Her Mother and Father had two moer kids and she doesn't consider them half siblings. Yet, she has never met her half siblings from her real fathers "hidden" family.
I'm so sorry about your grandfather.
I keep telling my son how lucky he is, at age 26, to have a full set of grandparents living, my Mother and Father. They have been married 56 years.
